Parisian Sophia Delila’s latest single, ‘What Did I Do’ showcases the
songwriting talent of an artist who has already duetted with Plan B on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, written for the likes of Duffy and has recently toured with Mika. The songwriter has lived in Boston
and since moving to South East London, has become well-established in the area.
She has various musical inspirations that make her work hard to pin-down, but
very unique, such as Dance Floor influences and Pop components.

Her studio near Putney Bridge has been the
birthplace of her music most recently, which has captured the hearts and minds
of the Press, with the Independent calling
Delila ‘A superb artist. ‘What Did I Do’ illustrates the
singer/songwriter’s ability to compose a bittersweet, yet uplifting tale of the
hardships of love. The production of the track is impeccable from start to
finish, reflecting the precision that Sophia
wants her work to show. As the track continues, her selection of influences
comes into play, forming an emotion-fuelled ballad with just enough driving
background-beat to give it an edge.
Fans can
expect Sophia Delila’s album ‘My Life Could Use a Remix’ next year; a
title that perfectly depicts the definition of her music. ‘What Did I Do’ has everything you’d expect from a heart-breaking
ballad; wonderfully striking vocals with an impeccable range right up until the
closing note, a melodramatic string section and plenty of raw emotion and
lyrical honesty about the difficulties and confusion of relationships. It also
brings a memorable hook into play without becoming straight-up throw away Pop.
Sophia Delila headlined the Wilmington Arms in London on the 6th
of December, with support from Jack
Savoretti, which gave her a chance to showcase all the trinkets of ‘What Did I Do’ and the rest of her
work. With her Jazz, Blues, Dance and Pop influences, she is a real artist in
an industry of computer-formatted noise.
